Abstract
Operations of a combination of first and second original convolutional layers followed by a short path are replaced by operations of a set of three particular convolutional layers. The first contains 2N×N filter kernels formed by placing said N×N filter kernels of the first original convolutional layer in left side and N×N filter kernels of an identity-value convolutional layer in right side. The second contains 2N×2N filter kernels formed by placing the N×N filter kernels of the second original convolutional layer in upper left corner, N×N filter kernels of an identity-value convolutional layer in lower right corner, and N×N filter kernels of two zero-value convolutional layers in either off-diagonal corner. The third contains N×2N of kernels formed by placing N×N filter kernels of a first identity-value convolutional layer and N×N filter kernels of a second identity-value convolutional layer in a vertical stack. Each filter kernel contains 3×3 filter coefficients.
